somatic pain and depression among Chinese adolescents

The cross-lagged analyses reveal a dynamic interplay between somatic pain and depression over time among Chinese adolescents, with gender serving as a significant moderator in this reciprocal relationship. Specifically, among male adolescents, somatic pain exhibits a predictive effect on depression over a one-year interval, with a comparable predictive effect in the reverse direction. In contrast, among female adolescents, depression demonstrates a unidirectional predictive effect on somatic pain over the same period, with no significant effect observed in the reverse pathway. Additionally, female adolescents report higher levels of both somatic pain and depression compared to their male counterparts at both time points. Furthermore, the association between somatic pain and depression is significantly stronger in females than in males at both time points.

交叉滞后分析（cross-lagged analyses）结果显示，中国青少年群体中躯体疼痛（somatic pain）与抑郁（depression）随时间推移存在动态交互作用，且性别在这一互惠关系中发挥显著调节作用。具体而言，男性青少年群体中，躯体疼痛在一年的时间间隔内对抑郁具有预测效应，反向路径亦存在相当的预测效应。与之形成对比的是，女性青少年群体中，抑郁在同期对躯体疼痛表现出单向预测效应，反向路径则未观测到显著影响。此外，在两个测量时间点上，女性青少年报告的躯体疼痛与抑郁水平均显著高于男性青少年。进一步而言，在两个测量时间点上，女性群体中躯体疼痛与抑郁的关联强度均显著高于男性群体。

背景概述

该数据集研究了中国青少年躯体性疼痛与抑郁之间的动态关系，通过交叉滞后分析发现性别是重要调节因素：男性中两者存在双向预测作用，而女性中仅抑郁对疼痛有单向预测作用。数据集还显示女性青少年的疼痛和抑郁水平更高，且两者关联更强，数据量较小（71.56 KB），适用于心理学领域研究。
